Janet Forelo, LCSW #80739
Thanks for your visit! Here are my specs:
Q. Tell me about your fancy papers and what those will do for me.
A. I tripled down on being a Chaos Coordinator (Social Worker) with my bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and clinical license so it’s totally in my blood now. I see folks as people in their environment and my role is to help with goodness of fit. Together, we can get creative about figuring out what can feel more snug, strong, and supportive for you in your life.
My Specialties:

Q. So… what else do you have to offer?
A. I was called “The Source” in one of my past social work lives, and I’ll take my encyclopedic brain in session with you too. I stay hungry for knowledge and I share whatever I think could be helpful. I feel that comprehensive or “wraparound” services are most effective, so I will be randomly relevant.
Q. How do I know I can trust you? This isn’t just any old stuff, this is MY stuff.
A. Well, I don’t expect you to. Trust needs to be earned so I don’t expect you to just give it to me. I very much want you to advocate for yourself and feel that you can ask for what you need. I’ll own up to what I know and don’t know, including if I think you could be better served elsewhere.
Also, I’ve been a client myself and consider myself a person in recovery. It’s rough times, but rewarding. So the time and space I share with you is well-worn with my lived experience.
Q. Any last words?
A. I believe that therapy might be one hour or so of the 168 hour week, but therapy HAPPENS the rest of the time. I want you to reap what you can from our sessions and plant your own garden. It will be a joy to see you blossom! Let’s get digging!
